Latest Ubuntu 24.04 uses Gdebi to install Debian packages

Hrmmmm. I tried to reconstruct the (missing) reference to the official Ubuntu announcement to that end, and failed. It does not look like gdebi is the Ubuntu 24.04 way to install .deb packages. In fact, all information I could find on the matter suggested that dpkg is still installed by default, and gdebi is not.

In any case, there's more versions of Ubuntu, and there's quite a few Debian package-based Linux distributions that happen not to be Ubuntu. Given this lack of ubiquity, I would have expected maybe to augment the existing command with a suggestion to use gdebi instead, on Ubuntu 24.04, but certainly not to replace the advice to use dpkg.

So: hrmmmm.
